  • The Specialised Masters in Large-Scale Civil Engineering works in Energy will take in its first students in September 2010

    The construction of new energy works in France and abroad (nuclear power plants, wind turbine farms, dams, etc.) and the maintenance of existing works require highly trained civil engineers. These engineers will be trained in both project management and sub-contracting and will be able to adapt to international working environments.Photo credits:©EDF MEDIATHEQUE

  • The Masters in Nuclear Energy welcomes you

    This new course, created in September 2009, is a part of the strong revival of nuclear energy internationally. In France, nuclear industrialists' demand for new engineers and managers is equivalent to approximately 1,000 people each year, for at least the next 10 years!

    • Students from the Masters in nuclear energy visited the Flamanville nuclear power plant and EPR construction site.

      On 17 February 2010, 24 students from the Masters in nuclear energy, sponsored by EDF, visited the Flamanville nuclear power plant. They visited the control room and machine room of a reactor in operation and were given a presentation on the issues involved in operating a nuclear power plant. They then visited the EPR construction site to see the new reactor being built and see the state of progress of the various buildings of the new plant. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit, which gave the students an insight into the practical application of their Masters programme.Photo credits:©EDF
